Anne Rothenstein @ Stephen Friedman Gallery

Focusing on portraiture, interiors and landscapes, the show brings together a group of new paintings that Anne Rothenstein created in the last two years.

Rothenstein’s enigmatic paintings are characterised by a dreamlike quality. Mysterious figures populate flattened landscapes and interiors. Her protagonists, often androgynous and vulnerable, provide intriguing subtle suggestions of narratives. Drawing inspiration from found imagery, personal experience and memory, Rothenstein works instinctively to communicate atmosphere and psychological tension.
